My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

QUEEN OF CALM, SOOTHING COMPANIONSHIP

 

DOB 10/1/23

Hey there, everyone! I’m Winter, a sweet, very calm, gentle, loving Turkish Van mix gal, which means that I’m white except for a black cap on my head and black tail. I’m really quite a stunning beauty who will mesmerize you with my shiny gold-coin eyes. I adore sharing quiet moments with Foster Meowmy – especially when she gently rubs my belly. Boy howdy! Does that ever feel good! When she's not available, I’m quite content to pass the day basking in a patch of sunshine on the windowsill. It’s the perfect spot to watch “kitty TV” as squirrels scamper up the trees, birds fly by, and brazen lizards stare at me through the glass.  

I deserve to live a life of leisure because by the time I was 19 months old, I had already delivered two litters of kittens at an apartment complex in southwest Houston. In fact, my seven-month-old daughter Summer, who was born when I was a year old, and I gave birth to a total of nine kittens on the very same day in May! We merged our two litters so none of the kits know which of us is their momma or grandma. Summer and I raised our kittens together as true partners to insure that our kittens got the nonstop love and nurturing they needed to thrive.

When the kits were six weeks old, a kind HOPE volunteer rescued all eleven of us from the apartments and brought us into foster care. Unfortunately, the kits were infected with a waterborne parasite called giardia, so they were skinny and dehydrated. Bless Foster Meowmy and HOPE because a prescription cured the giardia, and now all our beautiful kits are fat, healthy, and full of playful energy.

Now that I'm permanently retired from motherhood, I’m ready to help my forever hooman family learn how to relax and chill out after a hard day at the office. Or perhaps you are retired and just need a peaceful, loving companion to share your quiet moments. In either situation, we might have a lot of fun, side-by-side on the sofa, as we binge on Netflix and Animal Planet. You just have to promise to give me an occasional belly rub to make my ecstasy complete. Arrange to meet me today!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal is a very serious decision and we want to be sure that our potential adoptive families have thought about the impact of this decision carefully. To adopt an animal through HOPE, we request that you complete an Adoption Application, a copy of which is available online for cats at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php or for dogs at http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php. You may fill it out online or print a copy of the application and complete it prior to arriving at an adoption session. This will expedite the adoption process and will also assist our adoption counselors in matching you to a suitable pet.

We at HOPE make every effort to match our foster pets to appropriate homes. If you feel that we are too intrusive, please understand that it is because we care about their welfare.


Fees
All animals are neutered or spayed and have received age appropriate shots prior to being adopted. We ask that you provide a $100 donation for cats and a donation of $150 for dogs when you adopt your new family member from us. This donation helps us in defraying the costs of these and other medical needs of our animals.

Go meet their pets

Mobile adoption sessions are held on the weekends. All adoption sessions run from 12:00 - 4:00 pm at a variety of locations and days as noted on our website http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-locations/. For more information, please contact us at hope@homelesspets.net

More about this rescue

Our mission is to end the homelessness of cats and dogs through foster to adoption, feral cat Trap-Neuter-Return, and education.

HOMELESS & ORPHANED PETS ENDEAVOR (HOPE) is an all-foster, no kill adoption group based in the Houston area.

HOPE covers the cost of general medical expenses for the animals in the program, such as altering, routine vaccinations and treatment for parasites. Our foster families are asked to provide food, shelter and love to the animals for which they care. They receive no payment for the services that they provide. Without them, and the other volunteers who so selflessly do what is necessary to keep HOPE afloat, it would not be possible to run this nonprofit corporation.

One aim of HOPE is to develop a network of area rescue and humane organizations which will facilitate the rescue and placement of a variety of animals. The goal is to never have to turn away an animal in need. By forming a coalition of humane and rescue groups in the Houston area, we could potentially place all animals who need a temporary home until they are placed into a permanent one.
